Next chapter Ludi's POV.

Beginner Dungeon RTA 2

According to the game, five skills can be obtained from this dungeon. Out of five, three are useful to me. One of those is the thought acceleration skill I just obtained. It is a G.o.d-tier skill that boosts every stat's growth. It is considered one of the necessary skills to raise your character to their maximum potential. 

There's no character that can't learn this skill. It is no exaggeration to say that this skill is the one skill every character in the party you will be using to face the final boss have.

Now then, the skill I got from the second run of the RTA is Stamina Enhancement (Small). In the game, this skill shows almost no effect in combat since it just slightly boosts your physical strength. 

To be honest, there's no need for this skill in combat at all. It is super useful for a particular night scenario with the heroines though. There was a heroine that you can't capture no matter what unless you have a certain level of stamina too. Thus this is a skill that a lot of gentlemen sought after.

However, since the game becomes a reality. I think that this skill will be quite useful to me.

"I have to find out how much farther I can run."

When I checked the time, about a hundred minutes had pa.s.sed. Maybe because I am a little tired since this is the second run, I am a bit later from my previous run.

"It's almost noon already huh, guess I will head back for a meal for now……..Let's dive in again after that!"

Since I got two of the skills I wanted I head to the cafeteria in high spirits.

When she is not busy (which is rarely the case), Marino-san would always prepare a lunch box for me. However, today I have to purchase my lunch at the cafeteria. 

Since the Majin appeared, Marino-san is getting busier than usual. Nee-san is the same too.

"Where did you go this morning, Takioto?"

"Where? C' mon don't make me say it, you are making me blush."

I joined up with Iori who was diligently taking the morning cla.s.s and show my reservation via Tsukuyomi traveler (The general info terminal) to receive the pre-ordered set-meal at the cafeteria. Iori seems to have made a reservation too since he immediately received his.

"Haa…."

Iori looked a little perplexed at my dirty joke. I don't know whether the information regarding the eleventh floor is common knowledge or not so I will not touch on that subject. 

Well, if someone were to ask I would just evade the topic anyway, it doesn't seem like he is going to pursue the subject though.

When I take a look at his lunch, I noticed that it is more luxurious than usual (Just a little more expensive).

"Oh, you raised your standard eh?"

"Yeah, I got a lot of Tsukuyomi points from subjugating that Majin. It was mostly thanks to president Monica though."

Tsukuyomi point is something like a currency that can be used instead of money inside this academy. This point can be obtained from selling the items and magic stones that you obtained from the dungeon to the academy. It will also be given to those who captured a dungeon for the first time, breaking records or making a breakthrough in your research.  I also got a lot of points from being the first to capture beginner dungeon among the first year students.

"So you are treating yourselves huh."

It kinda felt wasteful to me but the point needed for a set meal should me within the error margin. Right?

By the way, I didn't use the points to pay for my meal but used the money Marino-san charged into my Tsukuyomi traveler instead (Money is being managed separately from the points) The amount charged is enough to order thousands of the most expensive set-meal. She said that it is for an entire year but there is no way I can use this up, right?

Of course, you can't directly convert money into Tsukuyomi point or vice versa. You can purchase a magic tool with money and sell it for Tsukuyomi point though. I basically use Tsukuyomi point all the time so when I found out that I can convert the money into the point like that, it blew my mind.

"Yours are always look quite luxurious though Takioto-kun…….."

Well, I want you to give up. People are born differently after all. Thinking about it the system clearly favors those who possessed money and power. I can say that the parents of our academy top students are mostly aristocrats or big-shot entrepreneurs.

"I'm still growing after all."

I gave him a vague answer. I can just say that I got the money from Marino-san (My guardian) but explaining about the circ.u.mstance regarding my parents would only kill the mood. The main reason is that it seems troublesome though. Let's just change the subject.

"So how was your cla.s.s?"

"Unnn how should I describe it…? Normal? Ah, that's right!"

"What?"

Iori stopped his hand and make a difficult expression.

"Well, you see…. Some people were bad-mouthing you this morning."

"Aah, I can guess the reason. It's about Ludi, right?"

It's the thing that can't be felt from the game but you can feel it in reality. The gazes and hostility.

Since Ludi has her so-called imperial knights (Fanclub), the LLL and her own tremendous popularity. Just by being a friend of hers already made me into an enemy in their eyes. It might be due to the fact that Ludi who doesn't often open herself to other people (especially men) and always behave prim and proper only act casually around me.

Welp, if that was the case then it certainly can't be helped.

That's why, regardless of whether you're a freshman or an uppercla.s.sman, you will end up as a target of the envious gazes, you might even get hit by some stray magic too.

"There's that too…. But some just complain about you skipping cla.s.ses this morning, you don't usually show up at the afternoon cla.s.ses too…..some even said that you are a delinquent….."

If it's about that then I can't deny it.

"Well, it's true after all."

There are no excuses. Even my performance in the normal cla.s.ses is miserable. Especially the history cla.s.s. I got something I wanted to say after the teacher asked: "Why do you think that Oda n.o.bunaga and Uesugi Kens.h.i.+n is a man!?" I couldn't say it then but I think I can say it now. 

G.o.dd.a.m.n EROGE!!

"There's some guy that said a guy who only deteriorates the moral of other students should just drop out already too…..from what I saw…. He seemed to be a member of LLL though."

I see. they want to get rid of me because I am close to Ludi huh?

Well, even if I got expelled, I don't think Ludi will ever pay any attention to a guy like him though……. Should I be considered lucky since they haven't attacked me directly yet?

"Is that so, sorry. It was unpleasant hearing those things right?"

"No, isn't it you who should be feeling unpleasant……?"

This kind of nuisance could be prevented if I am one of the tops of the school's caste….. Since this time I can't deny that I acted like a delinquent, I even skipped cla.s.s and I still haven't bonded with everyone in the cla.s.s yet. I am on speaking terms with all the girls though.

Rather,  why are there so many cute girls among the mobs? Some of them even rival the heroines you know?

In the first place, the problem stemmed from Ludi's popularity did not limit to the cla.s.s but the entire academy. Unless I hold on to some authority it would be impossible to counter it.

"What about it. I don't mind that one bit. I am the man who will become the strongest you know. This level of problem won't faze me at all."

"I see…… Well, you are strong aren't you, Takioto-kun."

"Yeah, I am the strongest after all.

"The heck you are saying hahaha."

He said that and laugh. It seems like he is seriously worried about me.

I was thinking this since I was playing the game but this guy is really a good person. If he is a woman, I would totally add him to my waifu regardless of the looks.
